and add a cube or two when you’re 

next cooking a stew or a casserole.

Look through the wine lists of many 

top restaurants and inevitably there 

will be a large selection of wines 

from Bordeaux. But is this simply 

because of the strong French 

influence on restaurant cuisine, or 

are the flavours and aromas of 

Bordeaux wines just made to go 

with food? We invited 12 lucky 

Wine Club members to join us for 

dinner at a smart London gastropub 

to find out for ourselves. 

We all met at The White Horse 

Pub in west London where Jilly 

Goolden had personally selected 

a special taster menu of 6 small 

courses, including two starters, two 

mains, a cheese course and a 

dessert. To accompany the meal, 

Jilly had chosen eight different 

wines from the Tesco Bordeaux 

range, ranging in price from £5.60 

to over £20.00. 

The evening started with Jilly 

explaining why it’s important to 

smell a wine before tasting it. 

“Our sense of smell is so much 

more powerful than our sense of 

taste. It’s how you pick up all the 

nuances, all the differences, all the 

light and shade in your wine.” 

With that Jilly went on to advise us 

to “swirl the wine around, get your 

nose in have a really good sniff!” 

The first wine to receive this 

treatment was the Calvet Limited 

Release 2007, a white Bordeaux 

made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, 

chosen to accompany a small 

portion of watercress soup served 

in an espresso cup. This was a great 

start to the dinner as most people 

agreed that the two went extremely 

well together. Richard Webster was 

particularly impressed, saying that, 

“The richness of the watercress 

soup was beautifully offset by the 

crispness of the wine.” 

The next course was more of a 

surprise. To accompany quail egg 

Florentine, Jilly had chosen Château 

Tronquoy Lalande 2003, a red 

Bordeaux. As Despina Smith said, 

“I wouldn’t have thought a red wine 

would go with eggs but it did. 

The wine tasted even nicer and 

more mellow.” 

As the two main courses of beef 

and lamb were served, there was 

plenty of scope for discussion as Jilly 

had chosen two different red wines 

to accompany each course. It soon 

became apparent that there was no 

right or wrong answer as everyone 

had their own personal favourite. 

One great eye-opener of the 

evening was Jilly’s questioning of 

whether red wines are always the 

best match for cheese. With a 

choice of a red, white and sweet 

Sauternes to accompany the cheese 

‘Our sense 

of smell is 

more powerful 

than our sense 

of taste’ 

course, she was proved right when 

most people voted for the 

combination of Sauternes and 

Roquefort as the best match of 

the evening. 

The overall verdict? Bordeaux 

wines really do shine when enjoyed 

with food, either complementing 

the flavours or providing a delicious 

contrast. As Robert Smith said, 

“It’s been a fabulous evening. 

It’s really given me the confidence 

to match different wines with 

different foods.” 

Bordeaux Banquet 

Calvet Limited Release Sauvignon 

Blanc, 2007, France, 11.5% 

“I’m surprised how well the 

Sauvignon Blanc went with the 

watercress soup. It’s crisp and

the flavour of the soup.”

SPAINTRACK! 

With more area under vine than any other 

country, Spain is the perfect destination if you 

like discovering delicious wines in out-of-theway 

places. The ancient regions of Castilla y 

León and Aragón have some outstanding wines 

that are well worth searching out, as you can 

see from the notes I made on a recent visit. 

James Griswood, wine buyer for Spain 

THE REGIONS 

The regions of Castilla y León and Aragón first came to prominence over 

500 years ago when King Ferdinand of Aragón married Queen Isabella 

of Castilla. Their union resulted in the birth of Catherine of Aragón: King 

Henry VIII’s first wife. When I visit either of these former kingdoms I can 

almost imagine myself back in the 15th century. Castilla y León (as it’s 

now known) is still dotted with fairytale castles and royal palaces, while 

sparsely-populated Aragón is a region of rolling countryside and ancient 

stone villages. 

THE GRAPES 

Tempranillo Spain’s best known grape is grown 

throughout the country, most famously in Rioja. 

It usually announces its presence with irresistible 

flavours of ripe strawberries. 

Garnacha Although known in almost every other country 

as Grenache (its French name), Garnacha is Spanish through 

and through. It adores sunshine, producing big juicy wines 

that are jam-packed with wonderful red berry flavours. 

Verdejo If you haven’t tried Verdejo before, just think of it 

as Spain’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc. It produces some of 

the country’s best whites, often intensely aromatic and full 

of zingy citrus fruit. 

by James Griswood 

Garnacha growing in Cariñena 

ARAGÓN 

I’m a great fan of Aragón as I think it 

produces some of the best Garnacha 

based wines in the whole of Spain. On 

this trip I fly into Zaragoza airport, right in 

the heart of the region. As my plane 

touches down I’m already getting excited 

about visiting the wineries and tasting the 

latest vintages. 

Day 1: Cariñena 

After a short drive in the Spanish sunshine, 

I arrive in Aragón’s celebrated wine district of Cariñena. 

With plains of gnarled old bush vines reaching out either 

side of the car, I know there are going to be some 

fantastic wines to try. 

Today I’m going to the winery of Marques De Carano 

wines. Set in the middle of immaculately maintained 

vineyards, the Grandes Vinos y Vinedos is built in a 

traditional Moorish style around a beautiful stone 

courtyard. I first came here about six or seven 

years ago and was instantly impressed by the 

quality of wines made by the wine-maker, 

Marcelo Morales Calderon. 

I’m always given a warm welcome 

by the team here. Last time I was 

here they put on a ‘light lunch’ for 

me. I now realise that a ‘light lunch’ 

in Spain can easily last for hours…so 

after the 15th different dish hit our 

table I had to admit defeat and 

politely suggest we should really go 

and start doing some work! 

This time I make straight for the 

blending room to taste the latest 

vintages. The reds are as rich and 

delicious as ever and the quality of 

these wines remains phenomenal. 

If you normally drink reds from Rioja, 

it’s well worth giving the Reservas or 

Gran Reservas a try. 

After a long afternoon’s tasting, 

I get dropped off at my hotel. It’s in 

the centre of Zaragoza; a wonderful 

city that’s a hotchpotch of modern 

architecture and historical 

monuments. I could easily spend 

the evening walking from tapas bar 

to tapas bar. However, I can’t 

stay late because it’s an early

CASTILLA Y LEÓN 

Day 2: 

Ribera del Duero 

An early start and a morning’s 

drive gets me to Castilla y León 

and its trendy red wine district of 

Ribera del Duero. Here the 

impressive wineries seem to 

announce themselves with grand 

authority, letting you know you’re 

in one of Spain’s best wine 

regions. 

One of the most striking is the 

Vina Mayor winery, where the 

Tesco Ribera del Duero is 

made. Today I’m just paying a 

quick visit to catch up with the 

wine-makers and check on the 

latest vintage. 

Like the best Riojas, the reds 

from here are generally made 

from 100% Tempranillo. But as 

the vineyards are at a higher 

altitude, the grapes have thicker, 

darker skins, leading to darker, 

more intense wines. I would love 

to linger as I adore Ribera del 

Duero wines, but I have to make 

tracks for my hotel which lies on 

the way to Rueda. 

Day 3: Rueda 

A short drive southwest brings 

me to the plains of Rueda: 

Castilla y León’s white wine 

district. Over here everything 

seems a bit more laid-back, 

more restrained and low key. 

You would never guess that it 

produces many of Spain’s 

greatest whites! 

Today I’m going to Agricola 

Castellana, a brilliant 

co-operative based in La Seca. 

The simple square building 

looks nothing from the 

outside…but behind its doors 

there’s some real winemaking 

wizardry going on!

Chief ‘wizard’ is Angel Calleja, the 

head winemaker here. I’ve been 

working with him for the past few 

years, since I first introduced the 

Rueda to Tesco. In fact I always 

visit around this time of year to help 

Angel put the blend together for the 

latest vintage. 

Day 4 & 5: Rueda 

– the blending process 

Angel doesn’t speak English and my 

Spanish is rusty at best, so we end up 

talking to each other through Norrel 

Robinson, a Scottish Master of Wine 

who’s based in Spain. With a mixture 

of pidgin-English, pidgin-Spanish and 

much pointing and gesturing, we 

manage to get the best blend for the 

Rueda. 

I enjoy serving this wine to friends 

who usually drink Sauvignon Blanc as 

the Verdejo grape is equally aromatic 

but with some additional peach and 

citrus notes that make it deliciously 

different. 

It’s just the sort of wine to get your 

taste buds going, so after the blending 

we all decide to jump in a taxi and head 

for the pretty town of Tordesillas, in 

search of something to eat. We end up 

in a charming café near the impressive 

redbrick Convent of Santa Clara. 

Day 6: Toro 

I just have time for a quick stop in 

neighbouring Toro. Here the landscape 

appears more rough and ready, in fact 

the complete opposite of Ribera del 

Duero. I love it here as the reds are 

usually big juicy blends of Garnacha 

and Tempranillo and are often real 

bargains. In fact, they’re just the sort of 

wines you always hope to find when 

you go travelling off the beaten track. 

That evening I fly back to London 

satisfied but exhausted…it’s been a 

truly rewarding trip.

The inside view 

Australian wine by Neil McGuigan 

Wine-maker of the Year, Neil McGuigan, recently met 

Pierpaolo Petrassi, MW to give him his thoughts on Australian wine. 

The Hunter Valley must be 

one of the toughest places on 

earth to grow grapes. It’s the 

first fertile valley you come across 

when you travel north from Sydney, 

which is why the early settlers 

planted vineyards there. I doubt 

anyone would choose it today. 

The climate is so extreme, you’re 

literally walking a tightrope every 

day. But when you get it right, the 

wines are fantastic. It’s where I grew 

up, and where I still live today. 

I started working in the 

family winery when I was 

just five years old. There were 

huge 750 gallon casks that could 

only be cleaned by climbing in small 

doors at the front. Because I was so 

small I used to get in with my 

brother to clean them. We used to 

enjoy helping out but I doubt health 

and safety would allow that sort of 

thing today. 

If I hadn’t been a 

wine-maker, I would like to 

have been a pilot. Just down 

the road from us in the Hunter 

Valley is the Williamtown air force 

base. It’s where the F1-11s used to 

be based. When I was a kid growing 

up, the air force guys used to come 

and visit the winery from time to 

time. So I was very tempted to sign 

up. But wine won out in the end. 

Australia was the first 

country to make wines that 

people could really 

understand. Our wines were the 

first to deliver bags of flavour and 

intensity. So, for the first time, you 

could pick up a glass and 

immediately know what grape you 

were drinking. For instance, you 

could instantly tell a Chardonnay 

from the lovely buttery, vanilla 

flavour. The wines may have got 

more subtle over the years, but 

it’s still a great feature of 

Australian wine. 

There’s a lot of talk about 

climate change in Australia. 

There’s no doubt that in my lifetime 

the vintages have been getting 

earlier because the summers are 

hotter. We’re also experiencing more 

extreme weather patterns, such as 

huge storms. But we’re already 

adapting our way of working. 

Australia is a dry country so we’re 

learning to use our precious asset of 

water very carefully. 

The proudest moment in my 

life was having my three 

children. But career-wise, it would 

have to be winning ‘Best White 

Winemaker in the world’ at the 

International Wine Challenge last 

year, followed by ‘Winemaker 

of the Year’ at the International Wine 

& Spirits Competition. I don’t know 

whether that’s been done before by 

one winery in one year. I think we’ve 

really lifted the bar for Australian 

wine; both in a quality sense and the 

evolution of Australian wine style. 

Tastes change and I think 

it’s my job as a wine-maker 

to reflect that. A few years ago 

I realised that many white wine 

drinkers were looking for a lighter, 

more floral style of wine. So I began 

working to bring out the fresh fruit 

characteristics in the aromas, while 

adding freshness, elegance and 

complexity to the palate. Of course, 

it’s not something you can achieve 

overnight; it’s an evolutionary 

process that takes a lot of hard 

work in the vineyard and winery. 

That’s one of the reasons why I 

think we won the awards. 

People expect Australian 

wines to have a certain 

warmth. But that doesn’t mean 

they have to be high in alcohol. 

We have been developing our reds 

over the past few years to deliver 

that beautiful Australian warmth 

and richness, but without too 

much alcohol. I think these will be 

next to shine in the competitions. 

It may take a year or two as reds 

take longer to evolve…but time 

will tell.

The wine-maker ’ s year: spring 

For someone who grows 

grapes and makes wine, 

every season brings its 

own unique set of 

events and challenges, 

as I’ll be outlining in this new 

series of articles. 

Pierpaolo Petrassi, MW. 

In the vineyard 

Anyone visiting a vineyard in Europe or North America 

around this time of year can witness one of the great 

sights of nature. Vines that only a few weeks ago 

appeared brown and lifeless, with just a few woody 

branches and twigs, will once again be showing signs 

of life. 

First, sap begins to emerge from the places where the 

vine was pruned over the winter months. Next, small green 

buds start to appear along the growing canes. Then as we 

go into April, shoots and leaves will begin to emerge from 

the buds, followed by miniature bunches of flower buds in 

early May. 

This makes frost a real danger at this time of year: if 

temperatures drop below 1°C then the little green buds 

will simply fall off. The buds are fledgling grapes, so frost 

could spell the loss of the crop. It’s no 

surprise therefore that frost prone regions 

such as Bordeaux and Burgundy employ 

every frost protection method possible, 

from small portable heaters in the vineyards 

to helicopters that hover over the vineyards 

to break up the air. 

In the cellar 

Wines made from grapes harvested 

last autumn will have finished 

fermenting over the winter and 

many will still be sitting in either 

stainless steel tanks or oak barrels 

in the cellar. Most reds and whites 

being kept in oak barrels will 

probably remain there for a few 

more months or even years. 

However, wines that are best 

enjoyed young and fresh are now 

ready to be bottled. This includes 

everything from Italian Pinot Grigio 

to French Sauvignon Blanc and 

Spanish Albariño. 

Small wineries will often do their 

own bottling in the cellar, straight 

from the cask. Those that can’t 

afford the equipment make use of 

mobile bottling trucks; a familiar site 

on the back-roads of Europe at this 

time of year. One thing is for 

certain: the vintage printed on the 

label always refers to the year the 

grapes were picked, not the year it 

was bottled. 

With vines springing 

back to life in the 

vineyard, this is an 

exciting and crucial 

time for wine-makers 

in the Northern 

Hemisphere. 

What’s going on down under? 

As they’re roughly six 

months ahead of us, 

wine-makers in the 

Southern Hemisphere 

are getting ready for 

this year’s harvest. 

Frost protection 

netting in Chablis. 

The Southern Hemisphere harvest usually 

takes place around this time of year, which is 

why the New World is always first with the 

latest vintage. Look out for 2010 in the next 

few months. 

The exact timing of the harvest can be an 

agonising decision. Pick too early and the 

grapes may not be ripe enough; leave it too 

late and a sudden downpour may wash the 

crop away. It’s a yearly dilemma in 

Australia’s Limestone Coast, where 

wine-makers coax every degree of flavour 

from late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon 

while dodging the frequent rain at harvest 

time. These days a decision can be made 

instantly, as modern mechanical harvesters 

will pick around 5 tons per hour, a job that 

would require calling on 100 hand pickers.
